It looks like 736 Ceres Ave once housed another of the many printers in the area--the Le Roy Carman Printing Co, which moved in ca. 1924 and was there at least until 1938. Other than that, there was a 1979
Times article that listed 736 Ceres as one of the city's 7,876 pre-1933 unreinforced masonry buildings. Not to worry--it looks like it has since had its seismic retrofit.
Ceres Street itself appears to have at one time been something of a red-light district and is the source of some other interesting stories--
